Answer: Painting

In the film he paints a picture of Terry in the shawl his grandmother left her.

7. Where did the couple plan to meet 6 months after their separation?

Answer: The Empire State Building

Hmmmm....sounds familiar. Any other films you can think of where someone did that?

8. What time was the meeting due to take place?

Answer: 5 pm

Of course, she never turned up, but Nickie waited until midnight for her. I'm usually in floods of tears by the time this bit of the film comes along.

9. What prevents Terry from getting to their meeting?

Answer: She is hit by a car

She cannot walk and vows not to get in touch until she is back to full fitness again.

10. Where does Nickie first see Terry again?

Answer: At the ballet

He sees her and decides to contact her and find out what happened. He looks her up in the phone book...nowadays this would be classed as stalking!

11. What present does Nickie give to Terry from his grandmother?

Answer: A shawl

The shawl is the clue to what happened to Terry on that fateful day, but apart from that I won't say anymore except that I'm usually surrounded by masses of tissues.

12. At least how many films did Cary make before 'An Affair to Remember'?

Answer: 60

Yes, this was his 62nd film (according to carygrant.net)! The weird thing about this film is that Cary met 2 of his real life wives on ocean liners.

13. How many films did Cary Grant make with this leading lady (including this one)?

Answer: Four

As I said above Cary and Deborah worked on films called 'Dream Wife', 'Kiss Them For Me' and the 'Grass is Greener'. They obviously made a good couple.

14. What year was this film released?

Answer: 1957

I'm told it was July 2nd 1957, I think this was the American release date.

15. Which film of the 1990s included sequences from this film which added to it's plot?

Answer: 'Sleepless in Seattle'

Of course it even had a scene where they met at the top of the Empire State Building.
